The Traditional Method for Multiplication

Many kids have been begging me to show them how to do the traditional method, so I revealed this to them in class today.  I've included two different tutorials below.

Two Digit x One Digit and Three Digit x One Digit

Two Digit x Two Digit

Ultimately, I want your child to have a strategy that allows him/her to be successful.  I've now explained the area model, partial products, and the traditional method.  We will continue practicing these methods, but I now have no preference as to which strategy your child chooses (so long as s/he can solve accurately and efficiently).
